For Instance, according to the study titled “Neurofunctional and behavioral measures associated with fMRI-Neurofeedback learning in adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder” published in the NeuroImage Clinical in May 2020, a larger trial with 100 children with ADHD was funded by the Medical Research Council for GBP 1.3 million. New collaborations with the National Institute of Mental Health and Dresden University were also formed as a result of the work. Since then, the team has received funding (roughly GBP 2 million from the National Institute for Health Research, Action Medical Research) to test other brain-based therapies in ADHD, including non-invasive brain stimulation treatments like transcranial direct current stimulation and stimulation of the trigeminal nerve, which controls facial sensations. Such a development in treatment option for ADHD treatment expected to boost the market over the forecast period.

The ADHD market is expected to grow due to a rise in public awareness about mental health and increased government funding. The rising number of people suffering from a variety of mental health disorders, including attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), has drew the attention of governments all over the world, forcing them to take action. As per the Regional Development Australia updates in July 2021, in 2021-22, the New South Wales (NSW) Government has contributed USD 1.8 million funding for the ADHD pilot program, with a total investment of USD 7.7 million for trial a new model of care and management for children with behavioural issues including attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in regional NSW over four years.

Moreover, during the forecast period, key companies focusing on research and development in the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) therapeutics are expected to drive the global attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) therapeutics market. For instance, in June 2020, Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. and Otsuka Pharmaceutical Development & Commercialization, Inc., a subsidiary in the United States, reported positive top-line results from phase 3 clinical trials evaluating the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of oral centanafadine, a novel investigational compound for the treatment of adult patients with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

Thus, the aforementioned factors are likely to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period. However, less availability of non-stimulants ADHD drug and underdiagnosis of ADHD, therefore these factors are acting as some of the major restraints to the studied market.

Key Market Trends

Stimulant drugs include Amphetamine, Methylphenidate, Lisdexamfetamine, and Dexmethylphenidate.

Amphetamines (e.g., Adderall) and methylphenidate (e.g., Ritalin and Concerta) are common stimulant medications prescribed to children, adolescents, and adults with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The study titled "A cognitive neuroscience review of the etiology of ADHD" published by the Association of Child and Adolescent Mental Health in January 2022, describe that stimulant works quickly, and there is also a reduction in overall impulsivity and ADHD symptoms in two hours. It also reported that stimulants are the most effective treatment for ADHD patients to keep them calm and focused. Thus the effectiveness of the stimulant drug in the management of ADHD boost the segment growth over the forecast period.

Furthermore, rise in clinical studies to evaluate the effectiveness of the stimulant drug in the ADHD treatment anticipated to drive the segment over the forecast period. For instance, as pet the ClinicalTrial.gov updates on July 2021, the study titled "A Pivotal Efficacy Trial to Evaluate HLD200 (methylphenidate) in Children With ADHD in a Classroom Setting" under the development phase III by Ironshore Pharmaceuticals and Development, Inc. Hence, increasing in number of drug development will expected to rise in the accessibility of ADHD therapeutics
and thus anticipated to boost the segment growth.

Moreover, approval and commercialization of new drugs by market players are also expected to play a crucial role in driving market growth over the coming years. For instance, in March 2021, Azstarys (KemPharma) received Food and Drug Administration approval for central nervous system stimulant for the treatment of ADHD.It is one of the first drug with the combination of dexmethylphenidate and serdexmethylphenidate. Such approvals are propelling the growth of market segment.
